Democrats' cover up of Hunter Biden transactions

 Daily Mail:

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee quashed a Republican effort Tuesday to advance a resolution that asked President Joe Biden to send documents related to his son Hunter's business dealings to the House of Representatives. 

In a vote 23-19, Democrats voted to oppose Resolution 1243, which asked Biden to send within 14 days of passage 'copies of any document, record, report, memo, correspondence or other communication in his possession' that related to 'the Biden family's international business schemes.' 

'It is time for President Biden to answer some questions about his participation in his family's business schemes with some of our most signficant adversaries for years,' said Rep. James Comer, the Oversight top Republican, during a mark-up hearing Tuesday. 

With Comer's party in the minority, the GOP members didn't have enough votes to move the resolution on. 

There's no further action Republicans can take currently, without winning back a majority in the House. 

'The American people deserve transparency about the Biden family’s suspicious foreign business deals, but Democrats today voted to conceal this information from them,' Comer said in a statement after the vote.  

The resolution specifically names not only Hunter Biden, but the president's brother James Biden and his wife Sara, along with Hunter Biden's former business associates: Eric Schwerin, John Robinson Walker and Devon Archer. 

...

What they are covering up is the Biden family influence peddling operations that netted millions some of which went to the Big Guy, i.e. Joe Biden.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
